The Thrive Podcast

Building a business takes a ton of time and patience. And while it's easy to compare your business with someone else's and wonder why you aren't *there* yet, it's important to remember that no one finds success overnight.

In this episode, I am joined by Erika Oakes, cofounder of Os & Oakes, a clothing brand that makes comfortable, unisex, clothing made of high-quality fabrics. Erika started Os & Oakes back in 2016 with her brother Michael and has since grown it to a powerhouse brand, recognized by influencers and celebrities such as Jillian Harris and The Birds Papaya. With both an e-commerce presence and a brick and mortar location, Os & Oakes is continuing to grow their vision of a sustainable and fashionable clothing brand that both kids and their parents love.

Here's what we'll be talking about:

- Why getting no orders at the beginning is normal

- How to drive traffic to your online store effectively

- Why paid ads don't always work as well as organic methods

- The reason Erika decided to open a brick and mortar store 

- Why hiring the right people is incredibly important to your brand

- How to get publicity and attract the attention of influencers and celebrities

It is possible for you to build the life you've been dreaming of. 

In this episode, I am walking you through the exact process for how to achieve any goal you have for your life. Whether it's running a marathon, building a business, or moving to a tropical destination, your goals *are* achievable as long as you have a plan and are willing to do the work. Here's what I'm sharing in this episode:
